However, many parents will fall into this misunderstanding when choosing picture books for their babies:
1, forcing the baby to tell his life feelings.
After reading a short story, many parents will ask, "Baby, what have you learned from this story?" In fact, children under four have little ability to abstract concepts. If you have to tell the truth, it will put pressure on your baby's reading and weaken their interest in picture books.
It is valuable for children to learn more new words.
Some parents will judge a picture book by the number of new words, but it is not. The baby's initial reading should be relaxed and happy. Picture books that are too difficult and abstruse will bring obstacles to the baby's reading experience. Literacy can be used as an extra surprise to read picture books, but it should not be the direct purpose.
Now I recommend some picture books for my baby to read before going to kindergarten, tell my baby how great the school is in advance, and eliminate my baby's strangeness to kindergarten. Mothers are relieved when the baby arrives in kindergarten.
1, "I don't want to go to kindergarten"
Tutu, who didn't want to go to school, spent a day in kindergarten, from "worry" to "happiness", from "not going to school" to "not leaving school". The warmth in the story protects the children's hearts. I believe this intimate picture book will reassure children and parents.
2. David goes to school
The book "David goes to school" mainly describes how David learns the rules at school. In this book, there are other children around David. He must learn to get along with others and respect school rules.
3. "I'm worried"
Worry, fear and fear are emotional problems that every child will encounter. In the story, Xiaoli's family comforted her "don't worry" and tried to understand her "if you worry, I will worry", but it was useless. Xiaoli is still very worried. She was even more worried when she was about to enter kindergarten. The clever teacher did not say a word of comfort, but introduced a friend to Xiaoli. The comfort of friendship finally dispelled Xiaoli's concerns.
4. a bag of kisses
Debbie the mole doesn't want to go to school very much, for fear that she can't face the strange environment alone. So his mother put more than a dozen kisses in Debbie's pocket and told him that whenever he was in trouble and difficulty, he could take out a kiss ... This is a picture book full of love. When mothers accompany their children to read this book, they can also encourage their babies in this way and enhance their inner security.
Don't try to bully me.
This picture book describes how children become braver, more confident and more active from the perspective of children. Children's hearts are pure and flawless, and they are easily influenced by trivial things in life. How to protect yourself when it is unfair to the outside world, instead of trying to be brave. It is really brave to teach your baby to face it positively and be a strong child.
It is too eager for quick success to measure the effect of reading with literacy and grades. Reading is not accomplished overnight, but a process of gradual accumulation and precipitation. As parents, we should give our children more time to see beauty and feel love in picture books, and then wait for a happy seed to sprout, blossom and bear fruit in their lives.
